The conception of Coleridge's "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" as a poem promoting mysticism is actually, in my opinion, a misconception. Although mysticism undoubtedly permeates the entire poem, its primary purpose is to serve as the vehicle, or means, of creating allegory. Anyone who is familiar with the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, will recognize the use of mysticism in this manner. Tolkien, a devout Catholic, uses a myriad of mystical elements in his stories to present an allegorical narrative with his beliefs and Judeo-Christian values at its core. Coleridge does likewise. Consider the fact that there are many, many readers who despise nothing worse than an allegory. So a successful allegory must me cloaked, or disguised in some fashion. The mysticism in "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" serves this purpose well. The poem is actually an allegory of Christianity, with the innocent albatross representing the crucifixion of "the innocent lamb" (Christ), while the Mariner's change of heart represents repentance and salvation, and his subsequent need to tell his tale to others represents the need the true convert to Christianity inevitably feels to tell others about his (or her) faith.
The wedding guest is afraid of the Ancient Mariner because the Mariner has a compelling and eerie presence, and his intense, hypnotic gaze captivates the wedding guest, leaving him feeling both fascinated and disturbed by the Mariner's strange and haunting story about his cursed voyage.
Mary Shelley was influenced by "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" for a few reasons. These include both books involving alienation, both being about existentialism, and Shelley being friends with the author Coleridge.

Frankenstein is addicted to knowledge in his younger years leading to his creation. The mariner is cursed by knowledge because he must enlighten people on his desolate tale such as the wedding guest. This brings up the Prometheus factor because they both went past the bounds that humans should go....Victor with the creature and the Mariner with killing the albatross.
I think their both great games, but would said the lost and damned because the missions are a little bit more challenging than the ballad of gay tony.
Both "Tintern Abbey" by Wordsworth and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Coleridge deal with themes of nature, spirituality, and the connection between humans and the natural world. However, while Wordsworth's poem focuses on the restorative power of nature and the joy of returning to a familiar place, Coleridge's poem explores the consequences of disrupting the natural order and the guilt and redemption that come with it. Additionally, Wordsworth's poem is more introspective and reflective, while Coleridge's poem is more fantastical and suspenseful.
This is in the Antepenultimate stanza of the poem "he prayeth best, who loveth best all things both great and small for the dear god who loveth us made and loveth all." It seems clear that the moral is morality itself - to respect God in all we do. However, the Poem has a lot deeper aspect of Morality, ranging from treatment of Animals and Nature to the darkness of technology (as this poem was written during the Industrial Revolution and is part of the Romanticist backlash against it).
